CHILDREN 18:3
Children 18:3 (Tooth & Nail)
[4 stars]
Far away from the smoky venues of New York, siblings David, Seth and Lee Marie Hostetter formed the three-piece Children 18:3 in central Minnesota, where they not-so-quietly honed their rock & roll skills when not working on the family farm. And what can I say? With super-energetic performances that make the songs actually fun to listen to, and influences from East Coast to West Coast, old-school to new wave —I can even forgive the one song that borderlines on ska—they rock.
The melodies are catchy, and the vocals are bold, with great interplay between the male and female voices, as the singing duties are shared by David and Lee Marie. If you like punk, this is an album not to be missed.
